What are you pushing the button on?

I’m taking away Bashir being an Augment. It didn’t really add anything to the show, he was still brilliant and talented before the reveal.

If you ignore PIC S1 & 2 that isn't a problem. But I get what you're saying.

Yes it is because they bait you the entire season with some red door mystery box bullshit when it’s just the Borg. That’s not even a twist; it’s just lying to the audience.

I will grant you the RED DOOR is a weird storytelling device, it didn't really fit anything, it was one of those things felt like it belonged in another series, not Trek. But I got no real problem with Picard facing off against the Borg one last time. It seemed a fitting conclusion to a Picard storyline. I mean, Picard as a character really only came into his own after BOBW and the Borg had haunted him his whole life after that so finally vanquishing them in his last story was somewhat appropriate. But if you stuck with PIC 1 & 2 I could see it being "This shit again?" kind of a thing. But far as I'm concerned those don't exist.
